Procuring new books, materials and equipment not provided for the library through the regular tax-supported budget;

Stimulating public awareness and appreciation of the library;

Wondering what to do with all those good, used books?

Why not donate them to the Friends of the Libraryfor the annual “Used Book Sales.” Bring your gently used books to the library anytime during library hours. You may ask one of the librarians for a tax form receipt so that your donation may be tax deductible. Friends of the Librarywas incorporated in January 1998 as a 501(3)(C) organization. Dues and regular and memorial donations may be tax-deductible. (For more information consult your accountant.)

Membership in Friends of the Libraryis open to individuals, families and organizations interested in promoting the enhancement of the Calhoun-Gordon County Library.
